Powerbeats 2: High-Performance In-Ear Headphones

Designed to provide unobtrusive high-quality sound, Beats by Dr. Dre's Powerbeats 2 earbuds are the audiophile-athlete's best friend. These sweat-resistant, Bluetooth-enabled, wireless in-ear headphones stay put so you can run around or do solo Zumba or whatever it is you do when you listen to music. Dual drivers provide incredible full-range sound, and RemoteTalk lets you work your buds hands-free. These high-tech headphones are worth the splurge.

Not-So-Silent Headphones

Known for their signature sound, Beats delivers yet again for the Powerbeats 2. You can be all about that bass and then some, thanks to dual-driver acoustics that send intense highs and lows straight to your eardrums. Note that these buds are not the silencing type, meaning that they were designed intentionally to allow some ambient noise to be present. If you're listening at a reasonable volume level, you can still hear your surroundings when running or driving.

The Powerbeats 2 provides six hours of continuous playback -- enough for a marathon -- plus a rechargeable battery for when you get to hour 5.

Hands-Off Functionality

Bluetooth capability lets you pair the earphones with a Bluetooth-enabled device -- like a smartphone, tablet or computer -- from up to 30 feet away. In addition, RemoteTalk conveniently allows you to change volume, switch tracks, and make hands-free calls. Although you do have to touch the RemoteTalk function to make it work (meaning that it's not completely hands-free), the molding on RemoteTalk is quite grippy, for no-slip grip when you're reaching for it.

Athletic Construction

Flexible ear hooks help keep your Powerbeats 2 in place, and a wrap-around cable stays out of your way -- with these smart earphones, cables won't whip your face during a workout. Best of all, Powerbeats 2 earphones are water-resistant so they can pump tunes even through a stream of sweat. Four pairs of replacement ear tips are included.

Features:

- Rise to Perfection: Powerbeats Wireless was designed to defy the ordinary while catapulting athletes towards unparalleled performance. Lightweight and engineered with the power of dual-driver acoustics, the reimagined wireless earphones deliver the premium sound and performance needed to propel you through rigorous workouts.
- Built To Endure: Don't let sweat stop you. Powerbeats Wireless is IPX4 sweat and water resistant from the earbud to the tangle-free wrap around cable, with over-molding on the RemoteTalk for a no-slip grip when changing volume, switching tracks, and making hands-free calls.
- Music You Can Feel: Add power to your workout playlist. Dual-driver acoustics power music through each ear bud delivering Beats' signature sound for a great listening experience, all while letting in ambient noise to keep you safe on the road with a customized fit.
- Designed to Perform: Beats designed it with you, the athlete, in mind. Powerbeats Wireless is lightweight and compact with a flexible earhook, providing a comfortable and secure fit.
- Beats Updater: Name your device for a personalized touch and make it your own.

"Good but pricey"

Overall:
Heard about these from a friend, so I bought a pair.
PROS: It's NICE not to have to mess with a cord! The sound quality is very good - far better than the Shure corded ear buds I have used for the past 3 years. I can now hear detail in the music which I could not hear before. And then, there's the wow factor - everybody knows what they are and seems to be impressed - I am the only one NOT so impressed however. I also like the fact these stay in my ears - something the Shure and most of the other "in-ear" types don't do very well, at least not for me. Very comfortable
CONS: Price. A $120 price point would be more realistic.While the sound is great, it seems that the mids and highs are not as prevalent as the bass - if you like deep bass, then these are the buds for you - if not, then perhaps look somewhere else. My music preference is Classical, Jazz, Christian, some Top-40, so your experiences and opinion may be different from mine.Overall, a good set of earbuds.
If you have an extra $200 laying around, then buy these - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
